Seeing Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng, Chen Nanfeng squeezed out a smile and greeted them, "Sect Leader Luo, Fellow Daoist Xia!"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile.
Luo Qingfeng naturally noticed that there was something wrong with the three of them, but he didn't ask much. He just smiled and said, "Sect Leader Chen, Sect Leader Mu, Valley Master Liu, I was just about to say goodbye to you!"
"Oh? Sect Leader Luo, are you leaving? "Chen Nanfeng asked in surprise.
In his opinion, Luo Qingfeng was a firm supporter of Xia Ruofei. Although Luo Qingfeng didn't pass the music selection, he could at least give Xia Ruofei more confidence if he stayed here. After all, he was also a cultivator at the Gold Core Stage!
Therefore, Chen Nanfeng and the other two were quite surprised that Luo Qingfeng was in such a hurry to leave.
Luo Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "There are still many things to do in the sect. I can't help much here, so I just discussed it with the First Elder and then I'll go back first. The disciple I brought with me will stay and continue to serve everyone well. "
"I see. Then I wish Sect Leader Luo a safe journey!" Chen Nanfeng said.
Chen Nanfeng's attention was not on Luo Qingfeng. What's more, Luo Qingfeng did not pass the music selection. Even if he stayed, it was impossible for him to participate in the exploration of the moon. Therefore, in Chen Nanfeng's opinion, Luo Qingfeng's departure was not important at all.
Luo Qingfeng smiled and nodded. He said goodbye to Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha, and then nodded to Xia Ruofei. Then, he directly stepped out of the siheyuan, found a place where no one was around, took out his flying sword, and directly flew away.
In the siheyuan.
Xia Ruofei looked at Chen Nanfeng and the other two and asked, "Seniors, what happened? I see that you don't look very good … "
Chen Nanfeng sighed and said, "Let's talk inside!"
"Okay, please come in!"
Everyone went to Xia Ruofei's master suite and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Chen Nanfeng then said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, the three of us used some time just now to test the Jade Water Flying Boat …"
Xia Ruofei was very surprised. He had just talked with Layman Yuntai for a while, then called Li Yifu to arrange the purchase of spacesuits and other space equipment. Then he called Luo Qingfeng over and gave him some instructions. In fact, it didn't take much time.
The three of them had actually taken a trip to outer space on the Blue Water Airship?
However, after giving it some thought, he felt relieved. If it was just to test the performance of the flying boat, they didn't necessarily need to rush out of the atmosphere completely. Besides, if they were to go straight up and down, that little bit of time was enough.
Xia Ruofei's mind raced as he asked, "Sect Leader Chen, have the three of them reached the outer space?"
Chen Nanfeng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think so. However, I can indeed see the curved outline of our world. It's considered a relatively high altitude."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "So … the results of the test weren't very good?"
Chen Nanfeng sighed softly and said, "The environment outside is far worse than we thought. As Fellow Daoist Xia said, the air at our altitude is very thin. If an ordinary person doesn't have any protection, they may die in a short time. Even if it's a Gold Core stage cultivator, they can't hold on for a long time … It's because of this reason that we didn't continue to fly up, but chose to return. "
"I know about the environment of outer space," Xia Ruofei said, "That's why I attach great importance to the spacesuits. I've already found a way to get someone to contact the United States to buy spacesuits. Of course, there are some other equipment, including the oxygen module, which must be prepared well. As I said before, the science and technology of the secular world are sometimes more useful than the methods of the cultivation world. "
Chen Nanfeng nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! I heard from Xuan 'er that there's a space station above us that's made by ordinary people flying around. It's much higher than the altitude we were at, but ordinary people without any cultivation can live up there for a long time. "
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Human technology still has a lot of merits. Moreover, their speed of development far exceeds that of the cultivation world."
Then, Xia Ruofei asked again, "Three seniors, if it's just the problem of the harsh environment of outer space, you don't need to worry too much. This junior will definitely find a way to solve it."
At this time, Mu Sheng said, "If it's just this problem, we won't be so depressed …"
"Oh? Could it be that there's still a difficult problem to solve? "Xia Ruofei asked.
"Let Brother Chen say it himself!" Mu Sheng said with a sigh.
Chen Nanfeng said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Xia, I won't hide it from you. I'm afraid our plan needs to be discussed again … because I'm afraid the Jade Water Airship won't be able to withstand a long period of outer space flight!"
Mu Sheng also nodded and said, "That's true. We didn't stay for a long time, but the Jade Water Airship has already suffered some damage in the extremely cold environment outside. You also know that many things in the ancient cultivation world have been lost, and this airship refining method is one of them. We simply don't know how to repair the damaged airship."
"It's only been such a short period of time, but it's already caused several damages." Liu Mansha also said, "And a one-way trip to the moon will take ten days to half a month. We all feel that the Jade Water Airship won't be able to last that long. What's more, we still have to consider the problem of returning! "
Chen Nanfeng waited for his two friends to finish speaking and then said, "I remember Fellow Daoist Xia also said that the environment of outer space is not only extremely cold, but also extremely hot. Under the alternating cold and heat, I'm afraid the Jade Water Airship won't be able to withstand it."
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "That's indeed the case. In addition to the extreme cold and extreme heat, the universe is full of all kinds of cosmic rays that we can't see with the naked eye, which will also cause damage to the materials of the airship. If the materials used to refine the airship aren't strong enough, there's indeed a risk of it collapsing. "
In fact, only high-level cultivators like Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha would be able to withstand the cosmic rays. If it were an ordinary person exposed to the environment of outer space, they would have already been killed by the cosmic rays, or frozen into a popsicle before they were killed by the cosmic rays.
"It seems that we have to consider changing the plan!" Mu Sheng said with a sigh. Then, his eyes lit up and he said, "Hey! Just now, Brother Chen said that … there's a space station in the sky that orbits the earth all year round, and ordinary people live in it all the time? "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "To be precise, there's an International Space Station. In addition, our country also has a Heavenly Palace Experiment Module. The scale is naturally smaller than the space station, but it's also designed to allow people to stay in it for a long time."
Mu Sheng clapped his hands and said, "Then it's settled, isn't it? Let's steal the International Space Station and take it to the moon. Wouldn't it be great? "
Liu Mansha's eyes lit up when she heard this. She said, "Sect Leader Mu, that's a good idea! Since even ordinary people can survive in it, it's naturally not a problem for cultivators! "
Even Chen Nanfeng couldn't help but show a hint of excitement when he heard this.
The Blue Water Airship had only flown out for a short while, but it had already been damaged to a certain extent. Chen Nanfeng was very distressed. After all, no one had the ability to repair the airship now.
What's more, at this rate of damage, the Blue Water Airship would not be able to support the moon at all. It would completely collapse, and then everyone would die in the vast space.
Therefore, it was imperative to find another way. Mu Sheng's suggestion provided another line of thought.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know how to explain it to these "science illiterates".
In the end, Xia Ruofei tried his best to explain in plain language, "Seniors, I'm afraid this is unrealistic. Whether it's our country's Heavenly Palace or the International Space Station, they can only fly around the earth. They rely on gravity to orbit the earth. If they want to fly to the moon, they must get rid of the earth's gravity, which is something the space station doesn't have. "
In fact, it was true. The International Space Station naturally had a power plant, but it was prepared for orbit fine-tuning when necessary. It was not enough to get rid of the earth's gravity and fly to the moon.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't talk about the international impact to the three Golden Core Stage seniors.
If the International Space Station disappeared, it would probably cause a global panic.
However, Xia Ruofei felt that Chen Nanfeng and the others probably wouldn't care much about it.
After hearing Xia Ruofei's words, Chen Nanfeng asked with some disappointment, "Fellow Daoist Xia, is this method really not working?"
"Absolutely not!" Xia Ruofei said with certainty.
"Then what should we do?" Mu Sheng said, "Since the methods of the cultivation world are useless, we can only rely on the technology of ordinary people!"
Chen Nanfeng nodded and said, "Yes! I remember Fellow Daoist Xia said that the Americans had already landed on the moon fifty or sixty years ago. We'll go to the United States and let them send our people to the moon! "
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile, "Seniors, I'm afraid that the United States doesn't have ready-made rockets and spaceships … Those were the products of the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union decades ago. At that time, the Apollo program cost a lot of money. In fact, at present, the moon landing is more symbolic than practical, so the United States hasn't launched another moon landing program in the past few decades. In other words, even if the Americans want to return to the moon, they don't have ready-made equipment to use. They have to build it from scratch. This is a systematic project. I'm afraid it can't be completed in one or two years. "
"This won't work, that won't work …" Mu Sheng said with a slight frown, "Are we just going to look at the moon above our heads and know that there may be a top secret treasure land on it, but we can't go there at all?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Seniors, please don't be impatient … In fact, this junior also has a flying boat. I think we can test whether this junior's boat can withstand the outer space environment and then make a plan."
Mu Sheng wasn't in a good mood. He said, "Little Brother Xia, Brother Chen's Jade Water Flying Boat has already been tested. Testing your flying boat again … I'm afraid it's meaningless! If your flying boat is damaged for no reason, wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain? "
Liu Mansha's thoughts were similar to Mu Sheng's, so she nodded and echoed, "I think it's better to think of other ways."
However, Chen Nanfeng's heart moved and he said, "I think … there's no harm in trying!"
Mu Sheng was a little anxious when he heard this. He said, "Brother Chen, you've experienced it yourself just now. You know how bad the environment outside is. The Jade Water Flying Boat has been damaged a lot in such a short time. It's a bit inappropriate for you to let Little Brother Xia take the risk to take the treasure!"
In today's cultivation world, a flying boat could be regarded as a very precious treasure.
Although a flying boat couldn't assist in cultivation or help people retreat from the enemy, flying magic treasures were very rare. Compared to flying on a sword, a flying boat was much more comfortable. In today's cultivation world, the highest level of cultivation was below the Nascent Soul stage, and the flying boat was still a divine tool for escaping. The speed of most cultivators flying on swords was not as fast as the flying boat.
Mu Sheng had always favored Xia Ruofei, so he was quite protective of Xia Ruofei in his words. Even in the face of Chen Nanfeng, the number one master in the cultivation world, he didn't mince his words.
Of course, this was also because Mu Sheng and Chen Nanfeng had a good personal relationship. The two of them would never fall out over such a trivial matter.
Xia Ruofei glanced at Mu Sheng gratefully, and then said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Mu. But this junior is still very confident in his Obsidian Flying Boat. Besides … whether it works or not, we'll only know after trying it! "
Chen Nanfeng looked at Mu Sheng with a smile and said, "Brother Mu, did you hear that? Fellow Daoist Xia is very confident! Besides … do you think I'm the kind of person who would harm others without benefiting myself? Since Fellow Daoist Xia proposed this plan, I believe he must have his own reasons. Shouldn't we express our support? "
In fact, what Chen Nanfeng said was not important.
He didn't say the most important reason.
That was, he had sent someone to secretly investigate Xia Ruofei. He also knew that Xia Ruofei's black flying boat was extremely fast. At least in terms of performance, it was much better than the Blue Water Flying Boat.
Therefore, Chen Nanfeng was also looking forward to seeing whether Xia Ruofei's flying boat could withstand the harsh environment of outer space if the Blue Water Flying Boat was not up to the task.
Whether it could work or not, Chen Nanfeng at least knew one thing, that was, Xia Ruofei's black flying boat should not be as fragile as the Blue Water Flying Boat.
And this time, everyone had experience, so they naturally wouldn't be caught off guard. Even the black flying boat couldn't withstand such an extremely harsh environment. Chen Nanfeng felt that he could at least ensure that Xia Ruofei's black flying boat would not suffer as much damage as the Blue Water Flying Boat just now.
Mu Sheng said helplessly, "Since you all said so, what else can I say? Let's try it! "
